Abstract:

Objective: To establish hospital-community-family chain management model for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients based on a medical consortium and evaluate its application outcomes. Methods: A total of 166 elderly COPD patients treated at The Second People’s Hospital of Changshu from April to September 2022 were selected as study subjects through purposive sampling. All participants were informed about both the COPD hospital-community-family chain management model and the conventional management model. Eighty patients receiving the chain management model were assigned to the observation group and underwent combined online and offline interventions until 6 months post-discharge, while 86 patients under conventional management were assigned to the control group and received routine care and follow-up. Differences between the two groups were compared using the Chronic Disease Self-Efficacy Scale (CDSES), the Medication Adherence Questionnaire (MAQ), and the abbreviated version of the Quality of Life Assessment Scale (QOL-AS). Results: After the intervention, the CDSES score of the observation group was (56.15±3.66), significantly higher than in the control group’s (41.93±1.21), and the difference was statistically significant (t=2.656, P<0.001). At 6 months post-discharge, 63.8% (51/80) of the observation group showed good medication adherence, higher than 45.3% (39/86) in the control group (χ2=3.871, P<0.001). The observation group also achieved a higher QOL-AS score (69.35±3.96) than that of the control group (51.48±2.14), and the difference was statistically significant (t=1192.273, P<0.001). Conclusion: A well-designed chain management model for COPD patients, combined with continuous homogeneous management, can effectively enhances self-management efficacy, medication adherence, and quality of life in COPD patients.
